The praise that Gustavo Costas had for Roger Martínez in the last Racing match had an overwhelming meaning. Beyond the Colombian’s current situation, what the coach is looking for is not to lose the forward. Hence, he wants to make him feel more important, although it is rightly impossible for him to give him ownership due to the great present that Maravilla Martínez and Maxi Salas are experiencing. Costas, as well as the Racing leadership, know that Roger Martínez’s continuity is complicated.
Roger Martínez wants to leave compensation to Racing
The main reason for the doubts is one and Racing de Alma announced it several weeks ago. The Colombian striker wants to have more minutes and be a starter, something that is not possible today. Although he is very grateful to Racing, Roger Martínez is not comfortable in the role he has and if a specific offer arrives it is possible that he will pack his bags. They trusted this portal from their surroundings that it still does not exist, neither from Boca nor from Atlético Nacional another team from which it is rumored that an offer could arrive.
Costas’ opinion
“The only way for Roger Martínez to leave Racing is with compensation. He is free in December and Racing with nothing. This has already been discussed with the management, but there is nothing yet”, they told this portal in the last few hours. Despite the fact that in the last games he raised his level and scored some goals, the Colombian does not quite show a level consistent with fighting as equals for ownership. Coming in he performed quite well, but when he had the opportunity to start against Riestra he made no difference. Could it have been his last chance?
“Roger is very important. It is difficult to find another like him… How is he going to leave?” Costas responded when asked about the situation of Roger Martínez and his continuity in Racing last week. This Friday, in dialogue with ESPN, he went more in depth. “Anything can happen in football, but I hope Roger doesn’t go to Boca. I love it.” What happens is that he was injured for a long time,” said the coach.
